Printing with campusprint on Ubuntu 26.04

Important notes:

  • To use the campusprint printing service, you must have a valid user account (BA number + password) and a student ID card or service card.
  • To set up campusprint and to print using campusprint, your device must be connected to the University of Bamberg’s network, for example, directly via the university’s Wi-Fi or via a VPN connection. For information about VPN at the University of Bamberg, please visit www.uni-bamberg.de/its/vpn.
  • These instructions are for Ubuntu 26.04 and should therefore work just as well on other Debian-based distributions.
